SOLVED Intel x520-10G-1-X8 DOES NOT WORK AT 10 GB/s

[tleguizamon]

Hello friends. Buy this 10 GB/s Inter x520 card. The system detects it as 10000 Mb/s but when testing it works as 1000 Mb/s. I'm testing by running an Rsync from a FreeNAS (FreeNAS-11.3-U5) to a TrueNas SCALE (TrueNAS-SCALE-22.02.3) both with the same network cards. Any help?

Is it showing up as 10gig on each end? How are you testing speeds, are you using iperf?

Are you sure your card is genuine? You may have a fake.

10GbE Intel X540-T2 goes down under load

Hello, I have an issue with an Intel X540-T2. From time to time both NICs of the card are going down when there are heavy transfers on one of the NICs. After reboot everything is up again. Do you think this is a hardware issue or software/BIOS settings? NICs are configured as different...

Hi, friend. Doing an Rsync from NAS1 to NAS2 transfers at 70Mb/s. I clarify that one NAS has FreeBSD and the other TrueNAS SCALE.

Hi

I doubt that since both are taken by the System as 10 GB/s. I think the problem comes from the other side.

@tleguizamon did you actually read what @Samuel Tai referenced.
Its got nothing to do with what the cards say they are.

And BTW - I suggest you post your hardware setup (both) as per forum rules as you won't get a lot of help otherwise

I read perfectly what the partner put @Samuel Tai.

Did you validate the authenticity of the YottaMark or BradyID on your cards? You still haven't answered that question.

This may well be pointing at your problem

Also please post your hardware properly.
Look at my signature or @Samuel Tai 's signature - which give full details of what the hardware is - not some crappy screenshot that contains just some of the info

Hi, friend. Doing an Rsync from NAS1 to NAS2 transfers at 70Mb/s. I clarify that one NAS has FreeBSD and the other TrueNAS SCALE.

Rsync is super slow, you should start by testing using iperf that will tell you what the max throughput your networking setup can do. From there the slowness probably comes from your cpu or pool configuration.

Hello friends. I found the problem, it is that FreeNAS does not take 10GB/s cards, rather it detects them but they do not work at 10GB/s. In my scenario I had a TrueNAS Scale and a FreeNAS. The transfers worked as if I had a 1GB/s card. Raise another TrueNAS Scale in a virtual one and here is the proof:

TrueNAS to TrueNAS runs accordingly at 10GB/s. It's time to update all FreeNAS to TrueNAS haha

 

[diogen]

...FreeNAS does not take 10GB/s cards

As a general statement this is wrong.
It might support fewer 10G NICs than SCALE, but Intel 520/540 it does support.
In my case it runs at 9.69 Gbits/sec over Intel X540-T2 (RJ45).

It's most likely your particular hardware configuration to blame.

Seems odd as the intel x540 does work on freebsd/TrueNAS. Moving to scale is a solution or you can keep looking and figure out why it's not working on freebsd. Other people have it working without issues.

 

[tleguizamon]

Good morning. I don't think it's a problem at least these boards I've bought don't work on FreeNAS. As I have detailed, they are detected by the OS but they do not work at 10GB/s. Installing TrueNAS on the same hardware works perfectly at 10GB/s. So?

 

[diogen]

So?

It could be the transceivers you use, cables and/or the switch it connects to.
Intel 520/540 10G card is one of the most often used with FreeNAS without issues...

 

[NugentS]

I believe the cards came up as non-genuine.
We know that TN works with 10Gb Intel 520/540 - it has for years.

 

[tleguizamon]

Creo que las cartas surgieron como no genuinas.
Sabemos que TN funciona con Intel 520/540 de 10 Gb, lo ha hecho durante años.

Buenas tardes, puede ser, le escribí al comprador ya que no encontré el número de serie en: https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...s/gigabit-ethernet-adapters-up-to-2-5gbe.html

Me dijo que las tarjetas eran originales con un chip de inteligencia. De todos modos, mover todo a la escala TrueNAS fue la solución en mi caso. Como se adjunta, en las capturas freeBSD no había forma de hacerlas funcionar a 10GB/s a pesar de que el sistema operativo lo tomó como 10GB/s.

If it doesn't have the Yottamark sticker on the back of the board with a serial number confirmed from the Intel web site, it is a fake NIC.
